Block Cinema

[0.1.1] - 2026-11-01

Fixed

• Live YouTube streams and live .m3u8 links no longer jump back to the start of the stream. They now play what is on now, for everyone, and show the Live badge instead of a time bar that didn't work.
• Videos no longer drift out of step on a lagging server: the shared time now runs in real time, not on server ticks.
• A video slow to load (long ones especially) no longer jumps again and again while it is still loading.
• Very long Jellyfin videos and .m3u8 links no longer fill up the browser's memory, and recover from passing network and decoder errors.
• Pausing shows the same picture for everyone, and after a pause, a jump or looking away, TVs get back in step sooner.

Changed

• Small differences between players are now played away by playing slightly faster or slower for a few seconds, without a jump. Clients and servers must both update: this version adds a network message.
